[support] Git and Multisite

[Todd Bloom]

Will you be using any modules from your "/sites/all/" directory?

If you won't, then could you just initialize a new repository in your /sites/thedomain.com folder?

There's also the possibility of using Git submodules, though I don't really have experience with them so I'm not entirely certain if they would apply to this type of situation.

I'm going to guess that I know the answer already.

I have a friend who wants to collaborate on a pro-bono site I am developing. So I thought of creating a repository on GitHub to make it easier. But I do all my development in a true multisite (single code base). So, for example, sites/all/modules contains every module that any of my sites uses. This is far more than this particular site uses.

If I build a repository, is it not going to contain all those modules (themes, images, etc) even though they are not needed for this site? Do I need to split it off to a single site with only the modules (etc.) that are needed for that one site?

I think building and maintaining a .gitignore file would be far more annoying than splitting the site.
